Esperanza elections
Hi Wikizach. I have decided to leave Wikipedia for good. Before I go, I wanted to thank you for your support in the Esperanza elections. M o e  ε  04:41, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Wikizach, I just saw the edit history of the elections page and noticed that you removed your vote for me, stating that it was false. Although I don't think it will affect the outcome, I was wondering if I had done something that made you retract your vote. Please let me know if I did something to upset or annoy you! Regards, Joann e B 08:30, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza Elections
Hey Wikizach! I wish to say thanks for your vote at the Esperanza elections.

I've made my way into the Advisory Committee, so if you ever need any help or have any queries about the stuff we do, please do not hesitate to ask. Thanks again, KnowledgeOfSelf 10:02, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Wikizach! A note from me too, thanks for your vote! Like KnowledgeOfSelf said, please let us know if there's anything we can do for you! --Joann e B 21:05, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Two things
First of all, I removed the 9/11 picture from your userpage, since it's copyrighted, and cannot be used on userpages. Secondly, I moved both your archives, since they are in Talkspace instead of Userspace. The new links are updated above. Ral315 (talk) 01:35, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Admin nomination
I would like to talk to you privately about this, preferably over e-mail (my Username @gmail.com), but possibly in IRC as well. If you would drop me a note at my talk page, or e-mail me, I want to discuss this. Thanks, Mys  e  kurity  02:44, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for voting
I'd just like to take a moment to thank you, Wikizach for voting in my request for adminship regardless if you voted for or against me. Seeing some very valid concerns, I've pulled the RfA until some of the concerns can be addressed. Thanks for your comments, I'll use them to help better myself -- Tawker 02:16, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

My RfA
Thank you for your support in my request for adminship. I'm delighted that the RfA succeeded with a final consensus of 52/17/7, and receiving comments including having 'excellent potential to become a great moderator', and I am now an administrator. It did however only just pass, and I shall do my very best to rectify any of my errors, including the general belief that I should do more article work. If you have any concerns, or if you ever feel that I may be able to help you, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Again, thank you! Ian13/talk 19:33, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Your userpage was briefly delisted by a rogue admin
You have a userbox Template:User UN which links your userpage to United Nations Wikipedians. There is currently a movement to ban userboxes from Wikipedia which are shared and which create Lists of Wikipedians. Certain admins have taken it upon themselves to preemptively sabotage and/or delete such categories and template. Here is the incident report which reported damage to yours, in which hundreds of userpages were delinked from categories without the users' knowledge. They have been stopped, barely, and the damage reverted— for now.

There is a Userbox policy poll, which if passed, will make required by policy the damage done to categories and templates such as User UN/United Nations Wikipedians. If you do not want this to happen, I urge you to vote Oppose. in the poll. Support is currently running at about 66%, and your vote could make the difference. It is said to require 75%-80% to be deemed reflective of consensus.

Thank you,

Your message to StrangerInParadise
I notice you left this message: "If I oppose, would that be voting Pro-Userbox?"

Why don't you read it for yourself, and see whether or not you agree with it? If you don't understand it for yourself or haven't decided for yourself which way you should go, please don't support or oppose just because someone tells you to. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 03:17, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Userbox poll pie chart
Hey, you dated the chart at "10PM" - which time zone is that? Thanks. --AySz88 ^ -  ^  05:01, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, to oppose is pro-userbox
The proposal has the consequences of,
 * doing away with categories of Wikipedians by POV
 * preventing the common listing of userboxes in a directory
 * preventing userbox templates deemed not of benefit to creating an encyclopaedia, a messy criterion
 * preventing userbox templates deemed POV or advocacy, a messy criterion
 * the pro UN template and category would likely be deleted

Please read the proposal for more, but, yes, to oppose is pro-userbox.

BTW, I was blocked for telling you (and 43 other UN Wikipedians) this, but one wonders how else you would have learned of this. =)

Tell more people, few know,

Your opinion
I created for all the commonwealth realms articles on the monarch of. See e.g. Monarch of Belize. I did this because every country has a Politics of series. In this series allways a head of state article is included. It helps to find your way quickly. It would be nice if these Monarchs of XX could be enlarged, but at the moment this is what I can offer. Now it is proposed to delete these articles at Articles for deletion/Monarch of Jamaica. Because of the consistency of the Politics of series, I oppose the deletion of these articles.

A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
